Most of the buildings date from 1875 but the
booking hall on the left is believed to be,
at least partly, the 1839 original.
On the far left is the Anerley Arms, built
to replace the tearooms and hotel,of the Anerley
Gardens. The shop and pub survive but all
the station buildings are gone. The last to
go was the 1839 booking hall demolished quickly
when a campaign was started to preserve it.

the commercial centre for the new district
of Anerley.
No.12, just before the junction on the right,
was the home of the temporary Penge Library
opening in 1892. On the left is Anerley station. |
